Mitch.........my point is there are over a billion cars on the road today not taking into account the lorries, buses, taxis, motorcycles, boats planes, trains and whatever else out there burns fossil fuels.
We will always have a need for fossil fuels IMO unless the powers that be can make their fortunes from renewables which I personally doubt.
I compare this situation like the droughts in Africa and the like.
How long have we been hearing they are without water .......40 to 50 years......certainly since I was boy.
Two thirds of the planet is fecking water........Africa is fecking surrounded by it.
A few strategically placed de-salination plants around the coasts of Africa could pump clean water to anywhere in the region........but it has never been done..........why.........because there is no profit in it for the powers that be.
The dozen or so richest families in the world control everything........the banks, governments...... everything.
All they care about is profit.......not doing the right thing.
My treehugger comment may have been a bit harsh and I apologise for that but IMO it is the way it is.
